BioSyent Pharma Launches New FeraMAX(R) Powder-Water Soluble Polysaccharide-Iron Complex Iron Supplement


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 6, 2013) - BioSyent Inc. ("BioSyent")(TSX VENTURE:RX) today announced that its subsidiary BioSyent Pharma Inc. has commenced the Canadian launch of its unique new oral iron supplement - FeraMAX® Powder.

FeraMAX® Powder is the first innovation in the pediatric oral iron market in Canada in almost 50 years. The Canadian market launch will be the global introduction of this new product and provides BioSyent Pharma with a unique offering for international marketing partners.

FeraMAX® Powder joins FeraMAX® 150 in providing healthcare professionals and their patients with a safe, effective, and well tolerated oral iron supplement. It is indicated for the prevention of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia in newborns, infants, children and adults.

FeraMAX® Powder is the only oral iron product available in a dissolvable powder and comes in pleasant tasting grape/raspberry flavoured gluten and alcohol-free crystals which can be conveniently dosed by diluting in water or mixing with soft foods. This innovative new product is based upon the same doctor recommended, proprietary, non-ionic polysaccharide-iron complex technology found in FeraMAX® 150.

Other oral iron products intended for infants and children either have an unpleasant heavy metallic taste which deter patient compliance or they come in formulations containing alcohol which healthcare professionals and caregivers prefer to avoid. In addition to its clear advantages in the pediatric market, FeraMAX® Powder is also well suited for adult patients that have difficulty swallowing pills.

FeraMAX® Powder was exhibited at the recent Primary Care Today medical conference attended by over 3,000 healthcare professionals. Listings have been secured at major wholesalers and shipments of FeraMAX® Powder, to over 30 wholesale distribution centres supplying pharmacies across Canada, will commence over the next week.

"The launch of FeraMAX® Powder further strenghtens BioSyent Pharma's leadership position in providing innovative iron supplement solutions for healthcare professionals and their patients" said René Goehrum, President and CEO of BioSyent. "We now have a full range of solutions and dosing options available for all iron deficient and iron deficient anaemia patients".
